Decided the blue beads in Attempt #3 were more useful elsewhere.

Debating whether to add some seed bead work around the moon beads, just for textural contrast, or if that would be too froufrou. Sounds like work, so probably not. Opinions?

The trouble with these beads is, as another poster has pointed out, they're heavy - seems as if one needs to weigh in as at least a light heavyweight, or else have a neck like a wrestler's. Definitely dramatic, tho.
